    it only says like 8,600 because since the reserve isn't met, it only bids what needs to be bid to beat the previous bidder

    What happens on eBay if just one person bids above the reserve price of an item, therefore putting the "current price" below the reserve... and then the auction ends? I mean, that one person was willing to pay the reserve... does it bump up the price to the exact reserve price in that case?

    If you bid above the reserve, your current bid will equal the reserve price.



    this isn't that hard. You tell ebay what you are "willing" to bid. It then bids for you whatever you would need to bid to be in the lead up to that amount. If you enter a maximum bid more than the reserve, you would at least need to bid the reserve to win right?

    Didn't the original mac have everyone's signature in raised plastic on the bottom?



    Just buy one of those, rip the bottom out and frame it.



    Cost? Maybe twenty bucks, uness you're real particular about your frames...

    Just buy <a href="http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=3400177653&category=17 1" target="_blank">this</a>, sign it, and sell it for $15,000. Easiest money you'll ever make.

    OBJRA10: Are you still interested in this magazine? I have not tried to sell it since around 2003.
